This bill amends Title 18 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes by repealing Section 7104, which pertains to fortune telling. The section defined the offense of fortune telling as a misdemeanor of the third degree, detailing various methods by which individuals could be charged for pretending to tell fortunes or predict future events for personal gain. It also included provisions regarding the admissibility of advertising as evidence in court and established the competency of witnesses whose fortunes had been told.

By repealing this section, the bill effectively removes the legal penalties associated with fortune telling in Pennsylvania, eliminating the definitions and stipulations that previously governed this practice. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
